Christy's Wish List Added

As the title states, I have added Christy's wish list to the blog... You can find the permanent link to the right under the area titled "Links"! I'll try to keep it as up to date as possible (removing items that have been purchased as they are received!)



This development is your fault Dad!



One quick note on Christy's wish list: I've checked with Brown's on Fifth, and the Ming pattern of Vera Bradley is retired and so any piece of that pattern might be easier found on eBay.com than anywhere else.



Later!

Picture Post

Well, this picture post took a while to get here! The pictures are from June 1st and June 2nd. There are a total of ten pictures from June 1st, and four from June 2nd.



Enjoy!

Christian thought that this box was just his size!

And then Thumper wanted to know what was so special about this box! More pictures of Thumper in the Other Pictures link.

He missed his mouth a little as evidenced by the amount of juice on his shirt.

The Boy Is Cutting Teeth

There is one tooth that can be felt - Christian won't let you see it, he sticks his tongue out if you try to hold his mouth open. Actually, you can see it, you can really only see it briefly.



I'm sure am glad that the boy is cutting teeth. When Christy came back from Knoxville on Sunday, I asked her where were the aliens that took and replaced our son with this whining, crying, fussy boy? We both were wondering what happened to our always happy and laughing boy. But on Tuesday, Christy's dad came and visited and while here, felt the tooth. It was sort of a relief! Based on the fact that the boy still is cranky and fussy, I've got to believe that there's more teeth just shortly around the corner.



Oh well...



On the aquarium side, I did some aquarium maintenance after getting home from work today: I went snail hunting! I removed at least 4 1/8" size snails (the larger of the pests) and about 5 to 10 of the microscopic size snails. After a short while of removing these, I went into exterminator mode and simply started squeezing the suckers. Hopefully to death! Lots of fun!



I'm working on some pictures to post, and will post here when they are uploaded.

Wish List Status

Dad pulled a big one on me yesterday... He claimed that something was wrong with my wish list at Amazon.com. I checked everything out and could duplicate what he saw - namely that externally my wish list was empty even though when I accessed it from my Amazon account, it wasn't empty. So I fired off an email to customer support at Amazon.com asking what was wrong.



Then I talked to Dad. He laughed. He had purchased everything on my Amazon.com wish list and that was why it was empty. Of course, he didn't tell me until after I had emailed Amazon.com.



As a result of the above, two things have happened: 1 - I updated my Amazon.com wish list, and 2 - Christy wants me to get her a wish list created! I'm working on that one and will of course, provide a link and post when Christy's wish list becomes available.



Later all!

DUB Saga Continued...

I checked Charter Communications website last night and since it showed that cable internet is *still* available for my home, I ordered it again.



This is now the third time that I have ordered cable internet from Charter - the two previous times, I was told that it is not available in my area. But my feeling is that if they say it's *available* on their internet site, then it should be available at my house! I'm fighting stupidity / willful ignorance with feigned stupidity and willful ignorance!



One day DUB shall die!

Blog Status

Yeah, I haven't posted anything in a while. I do have some pictures to get up here, but I also need to get caught up on some work...



In the mean while, Dad reported that the Amazon.com Wish List is showing nothing, so I will need to try to figure out what is going on there. I'll post back here when everything is updated and working.
